defense secretary hagel is assuring israel the obama administration is committed to supporting the jewish state's military superiority in the middle east. hagel met today with israeli president peres as pentagon chief. hagel said it is israel's right to decide for itself whether to strike iran's nuclear facilities. chinese crews rushed food and supplies to rural residents trapped after the earthquake in china. the quake killed at least 188 people and injured more than 11,000. river levels are above flood stage in several midwestern states. heavy rains and recent snow have caused the mississippi river and other rivers to surge in missouri, michigan and four other states. 41 counties are disaster areas from flooding. i'll get you back to cheryl and dennis. cheryl: all right. thank you very much. lines at the airport today just got a little longer as the f.a.a.'s furloughs begin kicking in. washington's reagan national airport has the latest. rich? >> well, here at national we're looking at about 15 minutes to an hour long delays and about 10 different flights. not necessarily due to these a

he is chairman of the foundation for defense of democracies. i want to follow up what we just saw, the uncle. they're here. the boys have been here, we think at least one of them for 10 years and hasn't left the united states. you would think he was radicalized here by his family. his family is here from chechnya. isn't that how they're brought up? >> it's, an outside possibility but my hunch is that assuming he was radicalized by some outside force that it was really communications over the internet. we've seen a number of occasions where islamists preachers, in qatar, where instructions on how to build a an explosive device are on the al qaeda magazine on the web. you don't have to physically get people together or physically live them together in order to influence someone especially in these days and times. the internet and web sites and so forth can do a lot to an impressionable young person. >> we heard rich say in his report they clearly want to take this person, apprehend him alive and get others involved with the information from him.

look at this way, corzine's defense he put on a trade on italian spanish bonds. we point out that the trade turned out to be very profitable. people got worried about the trade in the market and they pulled out their money from, they pulled out their lines of credit. every brokerage firm needs lines of credit to survive, from mf global. the ensuing madness where mf global, maybe didn't have enough staff on board, caused them, it caused money, customer money to be somehow comingled with the firm money. it is hard to prove, that a, that trade was done with malice. which it wasn't. it turned out to be right ultimately. b, that he really was directing people to misuse customer money. it is, when you break it down, i'm telling you, i'm no fan of jon corzine politically. he is a very nice man personally, this is a hard case to bring. now i'm not saying they are not going to bring it. for all i know they have charges tomorrow. i haven't seen them and i haven't heard of it, but i will tell you he will litigate this back and he could win. this is hard, when you start brea

i point out this is mostly state and treasury as opposed to defense and treasury. state for obvious reasons between two countries and what is interesting about it though, is that, if you notice banks have been quiet about this lately. mike brought it up. he might have brought it up from a question posed by an analyst based on some of our reporting yesterday. that is interesting. you can listen to "dow jones newswire" today to get some of this, but if you had watched the fox business network you would have gotten all this yesterday and this is an issue. they don't want to keep bringing it up. apparently in iran, these sort of cord plated attacks. they have been told that the sources of these attacks get bonuses, monetary inducements to create publicity here when it is mentioned. maybe i'm putting some money in someone's pocket over there, but when you mention it, when mike corvat it, there is issue people at the other end are getting induced. that is the whole thing create publicity, what is the endgame it they're not getting in customer accounts and combine with th

even though, given that backdrop, it probably makes sense for clot to get more defensive. recently upgraded the consumer sentiment to overweight. gold is a big chunk of that. the market could have already priced in a summer slowdown. dennis: what about the possibility of an anti-terror rally. traders are human beings. to see one of these two suspects already having been shot, and one being close to captured, isn't it a feel-good moment? >> i do think, in my mind, because there were not any economic reports today, it seems like the turnaround may have come from one of those types of psychological rallies based on some good news in the manhunt. dennis: do you think that the boss bombings were playing into how traders were feeling this week? >> i really do not think so. if they had targeted an exchange or the functioning of a market or if they had targeted the supply of some commodity, an example i have used in the past, if terrorists took over the strait of formulas and cut off oil the mideast, then yes. i do not want to downplay the tragedy in boston. it is a tragic situati

you're defensive here. why? >> very simple. because valuation is getting stretched. we're traditional investors. as things get more expensive, we tend to sell them. when they get cheaper, we tend to buy them. we're seeing as stocks hit our price targets, in many cases targets that we had two or three years out, they're hitting the price targets now. we don't have something we feel is ready to buy. we have more cash today than we had in the middle, early part of 2008. simply because it's really hard to find compelling, good risk reward scenarios in the market because valuations are beginning to get stretched. dagen: you're looking at the major markets in one way and being cautious with cash. on the other side, you're starting to nibble on the gold and silver, mining stocks. why that particular group? we've seen incredible losses in gold in particular, silver has somewhat been following suit but you're saying go for the miners. why? >> in our particular case we're very old fashioned. when things get hit hard, we start to get very interested and in the case of the gold
